In this installment of Let It Rip Weekends, Fox 2's Maurielle Lue and Charlie Langton tackle the problems surrounding the Detroit Public Schools sickouts, and the lack of diversity at the Oscars.

Speaking with Maurielle and Charlie on the lack of diversity at the Oscars is Fox 2 Entertainment Reporter Lee Thomas, local filmmaker Sam Logan Khaleghi, and director of Detroit Unleaded, Rola Nashef.
